Biden then offered his own prescription for what the Democratic nominee should do.

“My advice to her, the best way to remedy it, is to talk about what you care about. Talk about it with some passion and people will see through it,” he said.

A recent poll conducted by CNN shows Clinton now tops Trump in voters having an unfavorable view of the candidate: 56 to 54 percent.

He added that the email scandal Clinton is embroiled in is a “moving target,” but he is confident she is handling everything “by the book.”

The vice president, who is popular with white working class voters, is out on the campaign trail where he attended a Labor Day rally with Clinton’s running mate Tim Kaine in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania.

Both he and President Barack Obama have committed to appear at an unusually high number of campaign stops for a sitting president and vice president, something Biden says is necessary given the stakes involved and his belief that Trump’s rhetoric has greatly divided the nation.

Speaking on the issue of white working class class voters, Kaine told CNN, “People are looking for a ladder.”

He continued, “They want to see there is a ladder that they can climb and that’s what Hilary and I are talking about. At the end of the day, that will pose a comparison that is very, very stark.”

Building on Kaine’s comments, Biden acknowledged Trump’s appeal to white working class voters, but is vehement in his belief that the billionaire’s election would be disastrous for said voters, because in his mind, Trump is not qualified to be president.

“I just can’t fathom what he’d do,” he said. “The idea that he cares about the plight of middle-class people is just inconsistent with what he’s done.”

According to a new poll conducted by CNN, Trump and Clinton are nearly in a dead heat, with Trump edging out Clinton 45 to 43 percent among likely voters.
